Answer
Hello, thanks for your report.
Does this happen with any (i.e. even an empty) .go file? If not, can you send me a .go file that causes it to crash?
It does not happen on a simple "Hello World" file, but something in this snippet triggers the crash:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
m = make(map[string]int64)
for k, v := range m {
fmt.Printf("%s,%d,", k, v)
}
}
If I remove the tmbundle it loads without issue.
Thanks, I can reproduce it now. I assume that it is a problem in the language definition, but even if it is, it shouldn't crash the app. I'll try to find out what's happening.
The Go language grammar uses features of TextMate 2 which seems to support an extended syntax for language grammars. This extension allows to define patterns within captures which was not supported in TextMate 1. Textastic doesn't support this syntax and expected a scope name instead which resulted in a crash.
The crash happens while parsing this line:
for k, v := range m {
Although Textastic won't fully support the new features, the crash will be fixed in the next version and the Go bundle is usable. It just won't highlight the variable names 100% correctly.
